Throwback Baits Metro Glide LT 7" Tennessee Shad

Metro Glide LT in Tennessee Shad

The Throwback Baits Metro Glide LT brings the handmade Metro Glide design to a production-molded ABS platform. This Tennessee Shad version measures 7 inches and weighs 2.5 ounces, with a two-piece body and size #2 hooks.

Designed to swim similarly to the original resin version, the LT gives you a glide swimbait to work with changes in reel cadence. Learn its response on a steady retrieve, then mix in short pauses and bursts of speed along a clear retrieve path.

How to Fish It

Use a rod rated to cast a 2.5 oz lure, with line and terminal tackle suited to the setup. Make controlled casts with room behind and beside you. Test the lure nearby before a long cast to see how it responds to your reel turns.

Start with a steady cadence, keeping enough line contact to follow the bait without pulling it through each change of direction. Try a brief pause followed by a short turn of the handle, then return to your starting rhythm. Adjust based on what you see rather than working the rod constantly.

Cast parallel to cover edges where the bait has room to travel. When a fish commits and you feel its weight, reel down and make a controlled hookset. Maintain steady pressure during the fight, and check the knot, line, hooks, and joint after each fish or contact with cover.

Care

Inspect the joint, hooks, and attachment hardware before fishing. After saltwater exposure, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly before storage. Secure hooks during transport. When replacing hooks or hardware, check that the new components clear the joint and do not alter the lure's movement.
